    Yeah, the stupid side of the debate (Flacco has as many Super Bowl rings as Rodgers and Peyton so he must be as good!!) is really annoying. love it or hate it, in today's NFL, super bowls are won by very good to great quarterbacks. So, I presume by "today's NFL" you mean after Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson won Super Bowls? yes, of course. when i say "today's NFL" I mean today's NFL, not the NFL over a decade ago. you can't win a super bowl any more unless you have a very good-to-great qb playing at a high level, it doesn't happen.

    question, can barrett jones play LT in the NFL? he has the size and the history.
  3. Magnetic Curses
    i wouldn't hate that.

    Could you tell me where Jonathan Cooper and Lane Johnson went (obviously Joeckel, Fisher and Warmack won't be available)? I'd rather have Cooper than Fluker, not sure about Johnson. I can't see Kiper's draft (insider) but Walterfootball has Johnson going #11 to the Chargers, and Cooper going to the Bears. Fluker to Carolina in 2nd round, #44 overall. kiper doesn't know what he's talking about, he's just slotting people. fluker doesn't fit the bears' needs at all. he's a run blocking RT in the NFL, and we already have one of those whom we took with a high pick a couple of years ago. there won't be any pass-blocking LT worth taking at 20, you need to have a really bad year to get one of those guys in the draft. the bears will go after albert and long and take one of the real nasty OL available, or go ILB.

    "Known red-assed and disingenuous liar and cheater and press conference screamer/douchebag caught cheating and lying and being a general grumpy turd, projecting his own inadequacies onto the media and people who know he's a cheating cheater liar."

    do it
  10. Magnetic Curses
    He should be, I'm betting Parker gets it. Even though he hasn't been the best player on his own team this year. What do Illinois guys think of Tyler Ulis? Lol go to the illinois scout board and ask illininutt
  11. Magnetic Curses
    The Iron Sheik ‏@the_ironsheik The Thomas Vanek new generation real [expletive] the Raffi Torres I break his neck that no good piece of garbage
  12. Magnetic Curses
    hate that dude
  13. Magnetic Curses
    anyhow, i got my money on malcolm hill being mr. basketball in illinois his year.
  14. Magnetic Curses
    you're welcome
  15. Magnetic Curses
    I thought it was Illinois team strategy to foul on every possession in the 2nd half. Maybe I was just as blinded by my bias as you Illinois fans were obviously blinded by yours. yeah, that's it, you nailed it.
  16. Magnetic Curses
    abrams is still way better than appling
  17. Magnetic Curses
    i don't know if ed hightower ever gets reviewed, i can't see how he would.
  18. Magnetic Curses
    i seriously think that the refs should kill themselves, like right now. KILL YOURSELVES
  19. Magnetic Curses
    i don't know how the refs can live with themselves after a performance like tonight. they should kill themselves in the most painful way imaginable
  20. Magnetic Curses
    hightower never fails to surprise and enrage me. just when i can't think he can't get any lower or go any farther.
  21. Magnetic Curses
    NSBB didn't exist back then. Or did you read that in Vine Line? i think that was a reference to teve tone talking about izturis and cedeno.
  22. Magnetic Curses
    yeah, i could see us grabbing johnson but isn't he kind of like carimi in the fact that he's kind of a light, lanky dude?
  23. Magnetic Curses
    if their WAR was higher, then we have no better measurement to indicate that that particular player wasn't better that year. and the formual isn't a simple "data point", it's a collection of data points itself.
  24. Magnetic Curses
    is it just me, or is the ray lewis-obstructor-of-justice-or-murderer buzz more prominent now then 12 years ago. i seriously thought that i was the only guy who remembered that [expletive] and hated him for it.

    I feel like some people are relying far too heavily on completely unproven ranking systems to determine the value of football players. Isn't this like the antithesis of NSBB? I mean, I understand that baseball advanced metrics are a million times more reliable and proven, but there was a time when they weren't as widely acclaimed. Also, there's a lot of discussion of PER in NBA threads, FO ratings are used as gospel in most NFL threads, and even pass blocking efficiency (which is the ranking system I assume you're referring to) has been used to make many an argument without being questioned. Why all the sudden is this system "completely unproven"? I may be in the minority, but I think it's just as ludicrous when people value a baseball player solely on WAR. All numbers are useful, but determining a player's worth based on one number or formula isn't that helpful. i don't want to get into a discussion of WAR in the bears thread, but WAR is essentially a formula based on a lot of numbers.
